DetroitWINE TASTING

Welcome to Detroit Wine Tasting

Detroit has many fine wine stores, wine bars, wineries, and even vineyards. These are wonderful for wine connoisseurs to explore, and even more fun for absolute beginners because there is so much to learn about the art of winemaking and wine drinking!

We highly recommend renting a party bus to take you on a day trip to the best wineries and wine shops in the Detroit area, and to continue the good times into the night at wine bars and perhaps even some of the more upscale nightclubs in the downtown area.

Enjoy browsing the shops, bars, and wineries right here on Detroit Wine Tasting! If you're out on the west coast and love wine like we do, be sure to hit Napa Valley wine country for a Napa Tour by our favorite west coast affiliate.

Wine tasting tips...

Indulge in the sight of the color and clarity of the wine. Hold it up to the light and determine if it's a shade of ruby or garnet if it's red wine. If it's white wine, is it clear or golden? Then swirl the glass for about ten seconds, and keeping your nose above the glass, take a quick whiff of the aroma. Now put your nose into the glass and inhale much deeper. Can you single out any aromas like vanilla or oak?

Then take a taste...

Take a small sip and roll it around on your tongue. A slight slurp, like a backwards whistle, will help air to mix with the wine on your tongue and bring out more of the flavor. How does it taste? Sweet or dry? Would it go well with cheese or bread? It's not necessary to rinse your mouth between wines, just refresh your palate with some crackers or bread.
